Red Bull Foxhunt makes its much-anticipated return to the trails of Rostrevor, Co. Down this October 7^th & 8^th. The 6^th edition of the mass participation downhill mountain bike event will see over 450 riders take to the summit of Slieve Martin in an attempt to outrun not one, but three pursuing foxes!
